wind sound in headphones, part 2

[mariakei]

Hi,

Every timeI use jamulus, I get a persistent wind sound in my headphones. It's there regardless of the strength of the connection. And all the other musicians in our jamulus room hear it too.

I saw there was someone with the same issue who posted in 2017, but it didn't get resolved (publicly, at least). Attached is a screenshot of that discussion. Also can be found at this link: https://sourceforge.net/p/llcon/discussion/hardware/thread/509279c9/

Anyone have any ideas?? I'm getting desperate. I AM using the Asio4All driver.

Probably the issue is ASIO4ALL. At least it's known to sometimes cause strange issues. The only thing I could suggest would be to play around with the settings, contact the developer or better buy a cheap audio interface.

Go for an audio interface, but be sure it has its own ASIO driver and doesn't use ASIO4ALL.
ASIO4ALL is the main problem for Windows users.

Can you say more about your set up, so we can help you.

Things like

• do you have a microphone?
• do you have an external microphone and a built in microphone?
• what are your ASIO4ALL settings? (Advanced mode screen shot)
• what are your Jamulus audio settings?
• what can you hear when you are not connected to a server?

There's so much you've not said, no one can really help as it stands.

Thanks all for weighing in. Yes, I have a microphone. i'm using a wired headphone set that has a microphone on the wire itself. There is a built in microphone on the computer, but if I understand correctly, the microphone on my headphones are the ones I'm using. Here are some screenshots of my ASIO4ALL settings: [image: image.png] [image: image.png] And jamulus audio settings: [image: image.png] I've tried playing around with different audio settings features (changing the buffer delay, etc.) but it makes no difference. When I'm not connected to a server, I hear silence. (But I know the headphones/computer sound system is not the issue, because I can hear audio on a youtube video, for example, just fine.)

You say the headphones is good, but what about the mic ?
Try using the internal mic to see if there is a difference.

Hi @mariakei ,

Sorry but your screenshots aren't showning for me: I just see three copies of "[image: image.png]".

I'll also add:

(But I know the headphones/computer sound system is not the issue, because I can hear audio on a youtube video, for example, just fine.)

This doesn't really help with Jamulus as it doesn't necessarily use the same audio system as you use for watch YouTube videos.

When connecting to a Jamulus server, I can hear Mic and Bass, however there is a pulsating/wind noise while playing or talking.

Could be subsonic noise; filter it if you can, or use different equipment.
Could be an old version of Jamulus.

You could take a look at Windows sound setup, and see if one or more recording devices from your PC have the tickbox checked 'Use this device as playback source' (translated from my German Windows, may read a bit different on your PC), and further check if these devices are activated in your Jamulus ASIO4ALL settings too.

Hi, just wanted to update this thread with the resolution in case others in the future encounter this issue (of a "wind/ocean" sound in the audio). I bit the bullet and bought an audio interface (the scarlett solo) and it 100% resolved the issue. Not sure what that says about the problem--probably that the built in audio on my laptop was subpar. Thanks all for your help.

Good to know. Inbuilt mics and soundcards are often not studio quality unfortunately, so even cheap interfaces give a big benefit.

Nice move, thank you for the feedback. Same experience here, in the beginning I fiddled around with onboard/cheap soundcards with generally frustrating results. Any interface with an own ASIO driver will do better.
